37) Name Tag

Supplies
* none

How to Play
Have group form a circle, with one person in the center as "It." It must try to tag any player, to switch places. To prevent being tagged as It approaches, the player may say the name of any person in the circle.

Variations
There are two variations to this game. In the first, It must attempt to tag the person who's name is mentioned. This puts the greater challenge on It, as It must know who each name belongs to.
Alternatively, the player who is at risk must point to the person who's name they call, and It may attempt to tag any player in the circle at any time, putting the greater challenge on the group, who must be able to know who each name belongs to, and quickly because It may choose to move back and forth between two people standing next to each other.
